Finance Minister Ishaq Dar announced on Wednesday that the price of petrol was being cut by Rs8 and diesel by Rs5 per litre for the next fortnight.

The new prices of petrol and high-speed diesel are Rs262 and Rs253 per litre, respectively.

The price of light diesel oil was also slashed by Rs5 per litre to Rs147.68 while there was no change in the price for kerosene oil.

In a video address, he said that there was no substantial change in prices of petroleum products in the last 15 days and neither had the rupee appreciated against the dollar.

“It was still attempted considering all the factors that whatever room can be created [for relief] should be done and passed on to the people,” the finance minister said.
